Enterprise architecture means better business, pure and simple

http://www.zdnet.com/enterprise-architecture-means-better-business-pure-and-simple-7000021007/

If you think it's tough to structure IT around enterprise architecture, imagine how tough it is running a business without it.

IT worker-By Michael KrigsmanPhpto credit: Michael Krigsman

That's the gist of Tom Graves' latest post, as he makes a compelling business case for enterprise architecture, reminding us that EA goes far beyond the walls of the data center.

Tom reminds everyone that enterprise architecture isn't just the technology; the need for it starts when the customer walks in the door (or calls in, or visits the web page, whaatever the case may be). Processes start to kick off, requiring an "architecture of responsibility."

For example, a customer walking into a bank to straighten out a credit-card issue may encounter a series of silos before the issue is resolved. "When an organization’s systems are fragmented by arbitrary boundaries, users have to resort to error-prone kludges such as handwritten notes in order to bridge the gaps," Tom says.

Fragmented processes slow down many customer-facing situations. This is fertile ground for enterprise architects -- a set of customer processes that should last five minutes takes up to an hour.

"It’s the job of an enterprise architect to find a better way to do it, and work with others in the organization – solution architects, system designers, service designers, project managers and more – to get that better way designed and built and put into practice. Doing so would require a far broader scope than just IT. It needs an holistic view of the activities as a whole; it needs to understand not just the IT-based processes, but the human processes, and human responsibilities too; it needs to identify and clean up the kludges that people have to do to get round the limitations of the system."

This is hard work, and will surely be bogged down at points by organizational politics. But it beats the alternative -- a bogged-down organization.

16 IT Skills in High Demand in 2013

http://www.cio.com/slideshow/detail/119877?goback=%2Egde_36248_member_275922308#slide9

8. Enterprise Architecture Skills

Companies are applying the lessons learned from years of business architecture and are now trying to incorporate those lessons into the parts of the job that deal with technology and data. According to Foote, architecture roles are about the long term and are hard to justify ROI. As a result when the economic downturn happened in 2009 and 2010, many companies shed their network and other IT architects.

"A lot of companies took down and disassembled their enterprise architecture groups. That's all changed now. You can't do advanced analytics without a lot of data cleansing, data quality analysis, data management and data architecture, says Foote.

Enterprise Architecture has grown 30.8 percent in value/demand over the last 12 months.

Salary Range: $91,000-$134,000

Business Architects: Do Not Start With Strategy

Ten Ways to Kill An Enterprise Architecture Practice

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/nickmalik/archive/2013/09/05/ten-ways-to-kill-an-enterprise-architecture-practice.aspx

Have you seen practices that you know could kill an Enterprise Architecture practice?  I have.  A recent LinkedIn thread asked for examples, and I came up with my top ten.  I’d love to hear your additions to the list.

How to screw up an EA practice
  1. Get a senior leader to ask for EA without any idea of what he is going to get for it. If necessary, lie. Tell leaders that EA will improve their agility or reduce complexity without telling them that THEY and THEIR BUSINESS will have to change.
  2. Set no goals. Allow individual architects to find their own architecture opportunities and to do them any way they want.   Encourage cowboy architecture.
  3. Buy a tool first. Tell everyone that they need to wait for results until the tool is implemented and all the integration is complete.
  4. Get everyone trained on a "shell framework" like Zachman. Then tell your stakeholders that using the framework will provide immediate benefits.
  5. Work with stakeholders to make sure that your EA's are involved in their processes without any clear idea of what the EA is supposed to do there. Just toss 'em in and let them float.
  6. Delete all the data from your tool. Give no one any reason why. You were just having a bad hair day.
  7. Get in front of the most senior people you can, and when you get there, tell them how badly they do strategic planning.
  8. Change your offerings every four months. Each time, only share the new set of architectural services with about 20% of your stakeholders.
  9. Create a conceptual model of the enterprise that uses terms that no one in the enterprise uses. Refer to well known business thinkers as sources. When people complain, tell them that they are wrong. Never allow aliases.
  10. Every time you touch an IT project, slow it down. Occasionally throw a fit and stop an IT project just for fun. Escalate as high as you can every time. Win your battles at all costs.
